AFL President Wil- liam Green advocated a plan of the labor tions to held a world-wide labor confer- enee next September—but bluntly insisted that it must be held in the United States. Such a conference of the free and dem- etratic trade union organizations of the world “is vitally necessary,” Mr. Green i, “to lay the basis for future interna- tional labor policy, to unify and strengthen labor's voice with regard to postwar set- tlements and to map plans for the improve- labor standards throughout the world wher® peace return.” At the same time, he reiterated that AFL would have nothing to do with ‘The so-called world labor ‘organization re- cently set up in London, which he termed a “Communist labor front.” Hitting at Sid- ney Hillman, CIO leader, who was a prime- mover in the new and dual international group, Mr. Green declared: “Sidney Hillman now has extended his destructive and divisive influence, hitherto confined to labor and political fields in. this country, the international labor phere. . His sudden emergence with a pian for a new world trade union federa- on completely dominated by Soviet Rus- a and communistically minded ‘labor or- snizations from other countries has placed the British Trades Union Congress in a tiretly embarrassing position. The Brit- h Trades Union Congress must now de- te whether to maintain its cooperative ! rnal relationships with thg other ment of the to | a/thougaz ber. Everybody, by a law that will be passed-by the legislature, who votes in that | election will have to re-register.” Few names of people who have died are 'on the county books, becatise Supervisor John England has kept a-keen eye on deaths in the county, but it is impossible ‘or him to determine the names of people on the books who have left Key West or | other sections of Monroe to reside else- there. Nobody knows how many such nemes ate onsthe county’s books, but the same, county official, already quoted, said h@wouldnot be surprised if they number In the ty, the names of many per- sons who have died still are on the boo 1s well as hundreds of former residents. In the latter case, the city supervisor is un- able to determ who has left town to! establish his residence elsewhere, so that difficulty will be overcome for him by the re-registration of city voters. | With no names of dead persons or for- | mer Key Westers, who are no longer resi- dents for repeaters to Yote in the coming | city election, or. any other election in the ity or county, they will think twice before they vote in the names of eligible Key West- | ers. Repeaters, should they attempt to do that, in almost every case may be detected by election inspectors, who would be aware that the name.a repeater gave was not his own, And, if he is caught, he would be severely punished for violating a provision of the election laws of the state..

Now Johnsen Liberty is essentially the right of each to be himself and to live his life according GET ALONG” There has been a good deal of public discussion during the past few months over the proposals to-raise the salaries of mem- bers of Cor After the election there was a serious epidemic of headaches on Capitol Hill which were gely due to the ‘fact that congressmen who had to fight and spend their own money to retain their jobs, spent more than their annual salaries, vith the result that many of them had to | borrow money at the banks to pay their in- | come tax, And so they moaned ‘and com- | plained, like othey workers who have kept } off the military front. But those politicians | didn’t go on regular strikes, and now most of them agree with the chairman of the | House Appropriations Committee, Mr. Can- | non of Missouri, that it is going to be abso- lutely inconsistent for them to favor a wage | | tabilization plan, and then turn right around and vote inereases in pay for them- selves. . Representative ‘Cannon says that | | such a pay boost would cost Uncle Sam | | $2,500,000'a year. Strangely enough one of the oldest ; and noisiest New Dealers, former Repre- | sentative Maury Maverick, is shouting his | head off for “small businesses,” while in- | sisting that Congress should go ahead and | raise the pay of its members to at least ess. to his inclination and faculty, and to con- tinwe in that course unless the actions en- eroach on the rights of others. crooked elections, and that most of them | «+ While looking at a crated machine in ; “The best thing in the world to stop must have a ré-registration of the voters ir | horsé they disc | breed was the dssussin.'

Sipping a mug of coffee, the fugitive considered his situation. With Colonel Thornton on his side, | a ray of hope illuminated the | grey future. Lobo was slow- witted, a mere tool of hig brother. If he were arrested, and con- fronted with a murder charge, he might talk to save his neck. Did he know enough to damage Wack- er? Deep in thought, the lone man hunkered by the tiny fire did not at first hear the ant clatter of hooves upon fock. Suddenly the sound, breaking the silence that brooded over the mesa top, aroused him to tensed attention. With a spring he gained his feet and jumped back out of the eircle of firelight: Standing immobile in the deepenng gloom, with head thrust forward, he listened. J e unknown rider drew closer. Through the night O’Shane heard. the creaking of his saddle as he dismounted; the faint tinkle of his spur chains as he approached the fire. “Anyone around?” he shouted. Crouching, O’Shane movedslow- ly behind him. “Hist ’em!” he directed curtly. The stranger’s arms jerked sky- . Keeping him covered, the lipped, cold-eyed rider of m height, clad in grey shirt n vest.
